Chapter 263 Qinghuatan Auction
Regarding the upcoming auction held by Taoist Qingyang, Li Qing finally decided to participate.
Currently, the cultivation level has just been broken through. Continuing to practice hard will not be very efficient. It is better to go out and participate in this auction. It will also be good to gain insights.
While cleaning the messy beard and hair on his face with the Dragon Dragon Dagger, Li Qing whispered to himself: "It seems that more than four years have allowed Senior Qingyang to completely digest the trophies of the Shi family's remnants. "
"Now that he is taking the lead in organizing such an auction, he is probably planning to get rid of all the things that are of no use to him, or replace them with items he needs. "
After the cleanup was completed, Li Qing changed from the image of a savage in the mountains to a good young man again.
However, he pondered for a while, and finally decided to do some tricks on his face, trying to make himself look more weathered and show some signs of aging.
Although the age of a cultivator is relatively slow, after so many years, his face has not changed at all. If he is still in his prime, he will attract more attention.
Especially Qingyang Taoist, Li Qing has known him for more than ten years. It has been at least ten years since Ye Feng first introduced him to the secret trade fair.
Li Qing thought for a while, then messed up his hair a lot again, and then adjusted his Qi and blood to make his face look a little gloomy.
Soon, the image of a monk struggling to survive at the bottom of the world of immortality jumped out!
Since he was preparing to participate in the auction, Li Qing naturally planned to send something for auction.
There are still some magic weapons in the storage bag that Li Qing captured before. Although Li Qing doesn't like them, it doesn't mean that other casual cultivators don't like them.
You must know that in this joint auction, other casual cultivators living in the outer layer of Qinghua Lake will definitely participate. Naturally, it is impossible for these lower-level casual cultivators to afford high-grade magical artifacts. Even mid-grade magical instruments may not be affordable.
So these low-grade magic weapons that Li Qing doesn't look up to are definitely the things that these casual cultivators are flocking to.
In addition, some elixirs that he no longer needs, such as Guangling Pill or Qi Transformation Pill, can also be sold together.
Qinghuatan is located in a remote place, so if you want to buy some of this elixir, you have to make a long trip.
For many casual cultivators who live in seclusion here, it is a troublesome thing.
So as long as Li Qing lowers the base price of the elixirs on the shelves, he won't worry about no one buying them. After all, elixirs that improve mana are worth hard currency wherever they are placed.
In this way, ten days passed in a flash, and an auction led by Taoist Qingyang came as scheduled.
The auction was held at the edge of Qinghua Lake. An open-air platform had been set up here. It was surrounded by rich aura and beautiful scenery, making it an elegant place.
I saw figures flying one after another, and the sound of breaking through the air resounded one after another. The auras were quite strong, and there were even many monks in the foundation building stage among them.
Of course, these foundation-building monks are basically here by invitation, either through connections with Taoist Qingyang or friends of several other foundation-building monks in Qinghuatan.
All in all, the style of this auction is really quite high. Counting the local Foundation Establishment monks from Qinghuatan, there were actually a total of 11 Foundation Establishment monks present.
Li Qing also floated out of his cave. He glanced at the foundation-building monks sitting in the front in a low-key manner, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
What surprised him was that among the foundation-building monks, there were still a few familiar to him.
It was exactly what he saw when he went to participate in Jiuxiao's foundation building celebration. These people were the younger foundation building elders of Tianhe Sect, the mainstay of the sect.
Being able to come here this time is obviously for Taoist Qingyang’s sake.
With so many foundation-building monks present, Li Qing naturally kept a low profile and tried to watch as much as possible and talk as little as possible.
After Li Qing took his seat, several outer-level casual cultivators around him greeted him as if they were trying to please him.
"Congratulations, Master Li. It seems that your magic power has improved a lot this time in retreat!"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Master Li's style remains the same."
"I've seen Master Li before. !”
Faced with these compliments, Li Qing did not lose any courtesy, but responded to them all with a smile.
No way, it's not that he doesn't want to keep a low profile, but he is really famous among fellow practitioners like Qinghuatan in recent years.
Not to mention the identity of the weapon refiner, many people know that Li Qing has friendships with many monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For example, Taoist Qingyang, and Li Qing, who had previously participated in the foundation-building ceremony of a certain Tianhe Sect elder, and Liu Hanyue, who had successfully built a foundation here four years ago.
This network alone is already something that many low-level casual cultivators dare not even think about.
After some pleasantries, Taoist Qingyang finally climbed onto the open-air platform. He still had that amiable smile on his face, which has become his signature move.
“Hahaha, all the Taoist friends are willing to reward me for being so generous and come here to participate in the auction. Some of them have come from thousands of miles away. I would like to thank you in advance!”
"The reason for holding this auction is quite simple. I have harvested some good things in the past few years, but for me it is just some accumulation. So I simply held this auction to share it with all my colleagues, so as to You can hope for a better future."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of kind laughter in the audience.
"This is a great good deed. If everyone in the world of cultivating immortals can be like Senior Qingyang, the path to immortality will be truly promising!"
"Hahaha, I've heard about Qingyang a long time ago. Senior killed several remnants of the Historian family four years ago, eliminating a trouble for our Tianhe Sect and bringing peace to the world of immortality!"
"I am curious about how much of the core inheritance of the Historian family can be found in the hands of these remnants! , The old ghost Shi Fan’s magical powers were quite strong at the time.”
"."
Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Taoist Qingyang also smiled and nodded, and said: "Ahem, I won't talk nonsense, let the auction start now! ”
Subsequently, Taoist Qingyang took out a tray from the storage bag that had been prepared, with three white jade porcelain bottles on it.
"Each of these three porcelain bottles contains twelve pills, including Guangling Pill and Qi Transformation Pill. I guess the effectiveness of these two pills does not require me to waste any time, right?"
“The starting price for each bottle is one hundred spiritual stones!”
Twelve pills that can increase mana in the middle stage of Qi refining, the starting price is only one hundred spirit stones, this is definitely a very cost-effective deal!
In an instant, the casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage who were sitting at the back started competing to grab a bottle for their own cultivation.
Looking at the high emotions of the people around him, Li Qing couldn't help but touch his nose. This auction was from him. He had no use for these elixirs anymore, so naturally he took them and sent them to be auctioned and replaced with A stroke of spiritual stone.
“I will offer three hundred and ten spiritual stones!”
As a powerful voice fell, the other casual cultivators stopped bidding and looked regretful. He watched the last bottle of elixir, which was far lower than the market price, fall into the hands of others.
In the corner of the auction house, Xu Sanniang's face looked extremely anxious, but she had insufficient financial resources, so she watched helplessly as three bottles of elixirs fell into the hands of different cultivators.
She didn’t want to bid for herself, but wanted to buy it for her son as a training material, in the hope that her son could go further.
Unfortunately, her financial resources are limited. Even though the prices of these three bottles of elixirs are low enough, she still cannot afford them.
"Oh, it would be great if we auctioned them off one by one. This way, Cao Er, your path would be smoother." Xu Sanniang sighed in despair. Cao Xiu's fair little face was very determined, and he said: "Mom, it doesn't matter, I can still practice even without pills."
Other casual cultivators who had not bought it also expressed regret: "Oh, what a pity. I went to Tianhefang City half a year ago. If I had known that there would be such cheap elixirs today, I should have saved the spiritual stones. "
"Me too, Tianhefang City was just built last year, so I couldn't help but go to Lingfeng Tower, and I spent all the spirit stones there."
"Let's take a look. Senior Qingyang is very sincere in this auction. I think there should be lots suitable for us in the future."
"."
Listen Everyone around him was talking to me, but Li Qing felt quite comfortable inside.
The three bottles of elixir bought a total of more than 800 spirit stones. After excluding the handling fees deducted by Taoist Qingyang and other foundation-building monks, Li Qing also bought more than 700 spirit stones.
It can be considered a small fortune.
"The second lot is a 400-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa essence! The starting price is six hundred spiritual stones!"
As he spoke, Taoist Qingyang took out a piece of turmeric that looked like turmeric. An ordinary elixir is about the size of a fist and looks extremely solid.
As soon as I took it out, there were a lot of gasps.
"Hiss! Rehmannia glutinosa essence that is four hundred years old is rare!"
"Extension of life for forty years. If it can be refined into Rehmannia glutinosa longevity pill, the effect will be even more amazing."
"Taoist Master Qingyang, if you don't eat such a precious elixir yourself, are you really willing to sell it?"
Rehmannia glutinosa, a life-extending elixir, can extend the life of monks every ten years. One year, four hundred years of Rehmannia glutinosa essence can directly add forty years to a person's life!
Of course, there are limitations to these magical items, that is, you can only eat one Rehmannia glutinosa plant in your life, and eating it after that will have no effect.
Therefore, many powerful monks will try their best to find some rehmannia glutinosa that are old enough to eat. Basically, those who are less than a hundred years old will not be able to catch their eyes.
The current 400-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa plant is enough to make all the foundation-building monks present who have never taken Rehmannia glutinosa spirit excited.
Hearing someone joking, Taoist Qingyang also said with a wry smile: "I don't want to put it up for auction. Unfortunately, in the early years, I once ate a two-hundred-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa plant. Otherwise, how could I Will you sell such a 400-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa plant?"
When he said this, Taoist Qingyang's tone was indeed quite regretful. He has lost more than twenty years of life.
For a foundation-building monk of his age, this is indeed a great loss.
Soon, someone couldn't wait to shout the price.
"I will give you eight hundred spiritual stones!"
"Rehmannia glutinosa essence of this age is already extremely rare, it is worth fighting for! Eight hundred and fifty spiritual stones !”
“A thousand spiritual stones!”
The last person to shout was an elder from the Tianhe Sect, his tone was firm, and he looked determined to win.
"Junior brother Ma, I remember that you have taken a plant of Rehmannia glutinosa, why are you still bidding?"
The junior brother named Ma smiled and said nothing, and did not answer his brother's words.
But soon, another Tianhe Sect elder reacted.
“I remember that a few years ago, Patriarch Wanshan said that he wanted to harvest Rehmannia glutinosa essence? Didn’t he say that Patriarch Wanshan never took Rehmannia glutinosa essence?!”
“Hiss! I remember that in a few years it will be Patriarch Wanshan’s 500th birthday!”
As soon as these words came out, the price of Polygonatum japonica here went up, and it was immediately raised. Several elders from the Tianhe Sect started fighting among themselves, and began to raise the price one after another, so that other casual cultivators had to smile bitterly and retreat.
Finally, this piece of Rehmannia glutinosa was sold for 1,800 spiritual stones and fell into the hands of the Tianhe Sect elder named Ma.
With the release of the first two lots, the atmosphere of the auction was finally aroused.
Both the monks in the foundation building stage and the monks in the Qi refining stage present were extremely looking forward to the next auction.
“Pairs of low-grade magic weapons and double swords of ice and fire, when combined, can exert a power that is not weaker than that of mid-grade magic weapons!”
"The starting price is two hundred spirit stones!"
"A mysterious treasure map, which I found in the storage bag of a remnant of the historian's family, but it was a incomplete map."
"The starting price is fifty spiritual stones."
"Phoenix snow wood, an important spiritual material for laying out formations"
"."
One after another, the auction items were extremely precious, and their authenticity really opened the eyes of the casual cultivators present during the Qi Refining Period.
There are some things that many people have never heard of, but that doesn’t stop them from thinking about it.
Especially for the cheap treasure map, many casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage participated in the auction, and it was finally sold to one person for a price of one hundred and fifty spiritual stones. .
Although this item is cheap, the other monks in the foundation-building stage have a tacit understanding and do not participate in the bidding. They are all old foxes.
During this period, the low-grade magic weapons that Li Qingji had auctioned were also sold in batches, allowing him to harvest another four hundred spiritual stones.
The atmosphere was getting hotter and hotter, and occasionally one or two auxiliary medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill would appear. When Li Qing saw what he was missing, he would naturally take pictures of them.
He is now more than above or below. Naturally, he does not dare to compete with the things that the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage are interested in. And these auxiliary medicines of the Foundation Establishment Pill are not available to those monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. What an interest.
So Li Qing's photo was successfully taken, and other casual cultivators in the Qi refining period also chose to give in.
But when it came to the last few auction items, there was a spiritual object among them, which made Li Qing clenched his hand tightly!
“This is the trunk of a Baoyuan tree. I visually estimate that the tree is nearly five hundred years old. The essence of the spiritual wood inside is very rich.”
"I think everyone can understand the value of this kind of spiritual wood even if I don't tell you. It is a good material for refining weapons. It can even be used to make the best magical weapons."
"Start shooting. The price is one thousand spiritual stones!”
As Taoist Qingyang’s voice fell, the noisy atmosphere in the venue fell silent for a moment, and then there was an uproar.
Spiritual materials that can be refined into top-quality magic weapons are of great value!
Even Li Qing, who had always been calm, could not help but breathe a little faster.
